The Best Investment Options for Your Needs

There are so many different types of investments—small-cap stocks, short-term bonds, mutual funds, value stocks, real estate investments, and commodities to name just a few of the broader categories. These investments each have different historical rates of returns and investment potential. For example, there are over 63,000 publicly traded stocks and over 72,000 different mutual funds. The wealth management process of selecting investments is an intricate one and should be handled by an investment planner who gives sound financial advice and follows a fiduciary standard.

To ensure that we are matching you with the best investment plan, we look at your:

  • Investment Goals
  • Objectives
  • Risk Tolerance
  • Time Horizon

Our financial planners then compare the available options and recommend a portfolio that fits your specific investment management needs. Too often in today’s world, clients are told exactly what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. To have a successful retirement income solution, your investment management must match your retirement needs for the rest of your life.

Diversifying Your Investment Portfolio

The next step is to ensure that your investments are properly diversified. In our view, a mutual fund typically presents the best, most cost-effective option for diversification for the individual to achieve diversification. A mutual fund is typically made from around 100 to 200 different stocks, bonds, or both.

Our certified financial fiduciaries utilize actively managed funds whereby the underlying holdings change on a daily basis in reaction to the economic conditions and fundamental research performed by the team of professional money managers. Our typical client owns a variety of funds, each with different objectives.

If We Don’t Own It, We Won’t Recommend It

Unlike some other investment firms, each financial planner at Nelson Financial Planning will only recommend funds that we own personally. We select professional money managers who have been managing money for an excess of 50 years—a track record that most simply cannot match. Because we are a family-owned firm, we have complete independence to select money managers based purely on their performance. In addition, we typically use “flagship” funds at a particular money manager to have the longest possible performance record and lowest underlying expenses. These flagship funds typically have a minimum of 20 years of performance with some having at least 70 years of performance.

Wealth Management FAQ

What is wealth management?

Wealth management is a financial service that considers a wide array of financial and investment strategies for clients with a high net worth.

What is the difference between financial planning and wealth management?

Financial planning typically refers to helping individuals, couples, and families plan for their future to get ahead. Wealth management deals with managing the money that you have accumulated throughout life and involves a much more detailed investing and financial plan.

What’s the process for getting started? What’s the minimum investment requirement?

There is no minimum to get started with any of the services Nelson Financial offers. Typically, financial planning happens when you are planning for retirement while wealth management occurs for those in retirement.
